Bat Melech, with Rena Richman.

Bat Melech teachings appear every second Wednesday. The next Bat Melech teaching will appear on August 12, 2009, (Av 22, 5769).

King David, the slayer of Goliath, the champion of Israel, the man who laid the foundations of the Holy Temple, and the father of Moshiach, made the mistake of his life when he attempted to summarily dispatch Uriah, the husband of Batsheva. But it was this mistake when led him to become the master of repentance, and made him a figure that would span the millennia.

Moses prays 515 prayers beseeching G-d to allow him in the promised land of Israel. Simply to see this good mountain and the Lebanon,” (Deuteronomy 3:25), that is, Jerusalem and the Holy Temple, this is all that Moses desires. Just to experience the land of Israel firsthand, even in the form of a bird sailing in the sky. But, alas, it was not to be. Today, every Jew can fulfill the dream of Moses, and by doing so, bring this people closer to its destiny.

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
Weekly series with new shows available every Tuesday.

Accept a Torah teacher upon yourself; acquire a friend for yourself, and judge everyone favorably.

The Mishnah 6 deals with general social conduct, for we live as part of a kindred people, whether rabbis, peers or others. Successful participation in society flows from HaShem, as we draw people close because our love for HaShem includes the love of the people He created.

In practice, this means that we should accept our religious superior as a Rav, even if he is not perfect. We should accept our peers as companions, even if they do not completely meet our standards. Finally, we should not judge another as evil because of a religious or other shortcoming. Rather, judge everyone favorably and do not let such differences keep you apart.

The basic rule is: Draw people near and do not rebuff them.

Anyone who converses excessively with a woman causes evil to himself

How can talking excessively with his wife create evil for a man?

Men and women each have a unique role to fulfill. The husband, through his knowledge of Torah, establishes the spiritual guidelines for the household, while the wife engages in bringing those principles to life within the home. The Mishnah does not imply that the wife’s role is an inferior one at all; however, the man who neglects his own role, being drawn into his wife’s role through superfluous conversation, will fall short of his purpose in life.

Purpose is an essential characteristic of existence. The definitive characteristic of evil is that it negates existence; it opposes life. The “evil” that he causes himself is that not living up to the purpose for which he was created. He betrays his special potential.

These are the areas in which the husband gives direction and other areas in which wife gives direction. He should accept his wife’s advice on matters regarding the household, since she is the principal at the home. He should also consider his wife’s opinion on worldly matters, since they share that domain. In spiritual matters, however, he must be careful not to compromise Torah principles in deference to her opinion.

The Mishnah does not intend to diminish  man’s love for his wife, for he should love her as he loves himself.

Bilaam, the certified hater of the children of Israel sings their praises, but this week, as we read the first chapters of the book of Deuteronomy, Moshe rabbenu – Moses our master – who loves his people more than life itself, deals them harsh rebuke. How can this be?
